RE: Stupid Cat
ORIGINAL: ST4NG
Well... After my dog incident a few days ago, the same thing happened, but with a cat.
I was driving along and I see these cats just jolt out into the road. I held my ground and hit the brakes. The cat cleared the car, then got spooked and turned right around and ran right into the car. (I was braking the whole time, skidding.) There was nothing I could do. I pulled over to try and find the cat because I knew it would be injured, I had to give it mouth to mouth cuz I know it was hurting.
The front bumper has a crack right under the lower grille. The lower grille did pop out and it cracked, however I was able to get it to snap back in. From a distance it doesnt look that bad, i'll have to wait until daylight to see the real damage. I feel really bad, I couldnt save the forker.
Atleast this time all the damage is cosmetic, I am not going to worry about the radiator, it looks as if it should function fine. I'm going to go ahead and look into the GT bumper since i'll have to replace the whole thing anyway.
Animals are attracted to my car like flies. I'll just have to be more alert in the future.

RE: Stupid Cat
You did the world a service, cats are evil servants of the devil. I hate cats, they walk on my car at night and leave foot prints. I wouldn't hit one on purpose, as I don't want to mess up my car, but If they get in the road, so be it. haha :{)

RE: Stupid Cat
I did too!!!! On alligator alley (Teacherman knows where that is!)...but the damn Uni ran away so I wasn't able to find it after I hit it...Actually, truthfully...this past weekend I hit a low flying seagull near the beach, but not with my stang, but with a friend's Uhaul truck...all I remember was looking in the side view mirror and seeing feathers all over, it wasn't pretty!
